Twitter PFP Downloader
Download any Twitter/X profile picture in full size. Paste a profile link and get the original uploaded avatar — not the tiny compressed version.
Download Twitter profile pictures in full size
Twitter only shows profile pictures at small sizes — even opening the photo gives you a 400×400 version. The original upload is stored at full resolution, and this tool fetches it directly.
How to download a profile picture
- Open the profile on Twitter or X.com (e.g.
x.com/username). - Copy the profile URL from the address bar.
- Paste it above and click Download.
What you get
- Original size — the avatar exactly as uploaded, full resolution
- 400×400 — the standard square version, handy for consistent sizing
Works for any public account
Profile pictures are public on X, so this works for any account — including protected ones, whose avatars are still publicly visible. Paste x.com/username or twitter.com/username; both work, with or without the @.
Want a photo from a tweet instead? Use the image downloader.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about downloading Twitter & X.com videos.
What size is the downloaded profile picture?
Two options: the original upload at its full resolution, and the standard 400×400 square. Twitter's UI never shows you the original — this tool fetches it directly.
Does this work for protected (private) accounts?
Yes for the profile picture — avatars are public on X even when an account's tweets are protected.
What URL do I paste?
The profile URL: x.com/username or twitter.com/username. A tweet URL works too if you just want images from that tweet — use the image downloader for that.
Is the person notified?
No. The image is fetched from Twitter's public CDN; nothing touches the person's account and no notification is sent.
